How to reset a form
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
A common need on a Web page that contains a form is to reset it to the original state.
I think that some time ago many forms had a “reset” button, although now I see it being used less and less.
The reset button is an input
element with type="reset"
:
<input type="reset" />
You can programmatically reset a form using JavaScript, too.
All you need is the form element reference:
const form = document.querySelector('form')
and then you can call the reset()
method on the it:
form.reset()
This will clear all the elements in the form, restoring them to the original state.
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
